Copyright transfer and final paper submission procedure

The instructions below will help you in the creation of your camera-ready version of your ICISN 2023 accepted papers.

Be sure that you are using the proper Springer LNCS template

Proper MS Word and LaTeX templates are available at: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines

Please note that page size, orientation and margins are not referenced at the templates, but they are applied at them. Be sure that your paper is written at A4 with 5.2cm top/bottom and 4.4cm left/right margins.

Fill in the proper Springer copyright form (Publishing Agreement)

From this year on, Springer decided to use two different forms for copyright transfer.

• First form, Publishing Agreement (Download), must be used by everyone (by the corresponding author of each paper). There are only 3 fields than need to be completed (marked in gray) before signing it.
• Second form, Permission Request Form (Download), needs to be used only by them who are using copies of material – excerpts from papers that are already published. If, for example, a paper contains copies of illustrations, pictures or other material that are copyright protected and are already published, then Permission Request Form needs to be also used (together with Publishing Agreement).  Please note that if a paper refers to results, data, methods, conclusions, or other material and doesn’t use copies of them, then permission request form in NOT necessary!!

If you have questions about Permission Request Form please check Springers site and don’t hesitate to contact us.

Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either in LaTeX or  Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.
